Shen Tang is very panicked now.
Very very very panicked!
How could she convince these three cunning men that she didn't know where her national seal was, or how to use it? Shen Tang swallowed nervously.
"Uh, um - why are you looking at me like that?"
Shen Tang was tactically timid and chose to pretend to be ignorant even though he knew the truth.
Qishan and her had almost no tacit understanding. Regardless of her guilty conscience, he said with a half-smile, "What do you think of Youlishan's proposal?"
Shen Tang: “…”
It’s horrible!!!
Her goose bumps all rebelled!!!
Qi Shan's self-proclaimed name of "young pear" on the left and "good" on the right made her feel a chill in her tailbone, and the shiver went all the way up her spine to the top of her head. She suppressed her guilt and said in a coy voice, "Excellent! Very wonderful! The spiral is invincible and soaring to the sky!"
You can call her Shen Xiaolangjun or Shen Tang, or call her "Youli" or something like that, it always gives you the same feeling as Pan Jinlian calling Wu Dalang.
_(:з)∠?)_
Qishan: “…”
Although he didn't quite understand what the strange description of "invincible spiral soaring into the sky" meant, his intuition told him that Mr. Shen's words were very perfunctory.
Qishan turned around and asked Gong Shuwu.
"Half a step, are you relieved now?"
Gong Shuwu was hesitant, he didn't really believe Qi Shan's lies, but if he really had to watch tens of thousands of people in Xiaocheng living in despair, he couldn't be so heartless. At this moment, he was torn between heaven and man, entangled and struggling.
finally-
He suddenly sighed and said, "The Xin Kingdom's seal was handed to me by the old king himself. If borrowing it this time can really save tens of thousands of people in Xiaocheng, it can be regarded as accumulating some good karma for the old master."
Shen Tang: “…”
At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind - how failed was the old king of Xin State to make Gong Shuwu think so lowly of him? Did he do nothing good in the past
Gong Shuwu looked at Shen Tang, who was distracted for a moment, his dark eyes full of solemnity. He said in a deep voice, "Shen Wulang, I hope you won't let me down."
He was about to take out the national seal.
"Half a step, wait a moment!"
Unexpectedly, Shen Tang interrupted his action with a voice.
Qi Shan frowned secretly in his heart - Youli, if there is anything, it's not too late to talk about it after the matter is done! But he knew Shen Tang's temper and he was helpless and had no way to deal with her. Gong Shuwu paused: "Shen Wulang, please speak."
Shen Tang asked the question in his mind: "I heard Yuan Liang say before that the national seal is bound to the orange artifact... Er, what I mean is that the national seal is closely related to the king and cannot be separated. How did the king of Xin State entrust the national seal to you???"
One national seal corresponds to one prince and one "prince's way".
The National Seal is an orange artifact that can only be dropped upon death.
According to this logic, before the death of the old king of Xin, the seal of Xin should have been in his hands. According to the intelligence, the old king of Xin was still alive, so how could the seal fall into the hands of Gong Shuwu? Shen Tang was very puzzled, and she felt uncomfortable if she didn't figure it out.
Gong Shuwu: “…”
Qishan: “…”
Chu Yao: “…”
Calling a timeout at a critical moment is just for this? ?
Shen Tang perfectly understood the looks of the three of them and said unhappily, "I'm just curious. Who doesn't have curiosity..."
Chu Yao looked at Qi Shan with a half-smile, his eyes clearly showed the words "misleading students". Qi Shan almost jumped up when he was looked at like this. He resisted the urge of the veins on his forehead to riot, and squeezed out words from his teeth one by one.
"Young Master Shen, when did Shan say that?"
Shen Tang was righteous and confident, holding his head high and chest out, and said confidently: "You said that the 'way of the princes' cannot be changed unless you die!"
Only with the national seal can one have the "Way of the Princes"!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with her understanding!
Chu Yao couldn't help but chuckle, laughing out loud, all of his laughter was "ridicule" for Qi Shan. See, he said Qi Shan was not cut out for teaching and educating people. He was misleading the students and causing endless harm!
Qishan: “…”
Shen Tang's eyelids jumped violently: "Did I understand it wrongly?"
Qi Shan said: "Wrong! Absolutely wrong!"
Shen Tang: “…”
Simply put, she misunderstood.
The national seal is indeed bound to the orange artifact and will drop when killed, but it does not mean that the national seal can only be transferred by death. If so, how will the new and old heads of state take over? If the son wants to take the throne and get the national seal, the father must die
This is totally not a beaver!
Which father would be willing to do this for the next generation
Therefore, the national seal can actually be untied. Under the full consent of the lord of the vassal state, the national seal can be transferred to another person in two ways. Qi Shan endured the long-lost headache and gave Shen·Illiterate·Tang a popular science lesson, and also cleared his illiteracy.
"First, abdicate."
The old ruler will lose control of the national seal during the abdication ceremony, and his "Ways of the Princes" will also lose their effectiveness.
"Second, entrust an orphan to someone else."
This example is rather special, but in practice it is more common than abdication. Usually, the old ruler is about to die, and has no time to abdicate, and has no adult children, so he entrusts his young children to one or more "ministers".
In this case, although the national seal still belongs to the young son of the old monarch, the "trusted minister" also has the right to use the national seal. Before the new monarch reaches adulthood (or has achieved success in cultivation), they will assist the new monarch in using the new "Way of the Princes" to protect the country.
After listening to Qi Shan's explanation, Shen Tang became more confused and asked, "But—it seems that the old king of Xin State only has one princess as his heir?"
When I think of the fate of that princess, I can't help but sigh.
A woman in troubled times...
Qi Shan's expression darkened, as if he also remembered how the young Wang Ji died tragically. But his mood was only depressed for a moment, and he continued: "The heir that the old king of Xin State likes is obviously not Wang Ji, so this 'entrustment' is more special..."
It is not important whether it is special or not. What is important is that the king of Xin State did not designate a son to inherit the national seal. Gong Shuwu is now a "heavy minister entrusted with the care of an orphan", so he can carry the national seal around. As long as Gong Shuwu allows it, he can also borrow it.
Shen Tang asked again: "Since the 'Trusted Minister' also has the right to use the national seal, why not let Banbu use it himself..."
Qishan: “…”
Chu Yao: “…”
Gong Shuwu: “…”
Why did he vaguely feel that Shen Wulang was avoiding and disdaining the national seal? This is a treasure that everyone in the world is fighting for! Gong Shuwu inexplicably felt a lump in his throat. He couldn't spit out or swallow this breath. Thinking about his previous vigilance, it seemed like a joke.
Qi Shan said expressionlessly, "Young Master Shen, you are not listening carefully. The premise for using 'an important minister to entrust an orphan to' is that you have a young offspring."
Shen Tang looked at Gong Shuwu for confirmation.
Gong Shuwu sighed and said, "It is indeed impossible."
Shen Tang said: "It's a matter of time, and the ruler takes turns. The national seal is so important, but you never thought about taking it for yourself? I know you are loyal, but if you can help Xin country restore its country, it won't be a shame to the old ruler of Xin country..."
As long as the newly established country is still called "Xin State", it will be fine.
Who says that only a certain royal family or a certain descendant can be the ruler of a country? As long as you have the ability and gather the right time, place and people, you can embark on the road of fighting for the throne even if you only have a bowl and a dog at the beginning... Anyone has the opportunity to change the sun and the moon!
Gong Shuwu: “…”
Qishan: “…”
Chu Yao: “…”
Qishan and the other two were in a very complicated mood at this time. They were testing Gong Shuwu's bottom line and also had their eyes on the Xin State's national seal. They racked their brains to pull Gong Shuwu onto their small covered boat. But Shen Xiaolangjun/Wulang persuaded Gong Shuwu to set up his own business
Is this a hold back
Or is it holding back
Or is it holding back
Gong Shuwu's face turned red due to her question.
His facial muscles twitched and trembled, and only he knew what kind of storm he was going through in his heart. He couldn't understand why Shen Wulang could ask such a treasonous and absurd question so naturally? Looking at the other party's as if it was a matter of course that Gong Shuwu would be abnormal if he didn't rebel
Gong Shuwu's square face was calm and he gritted his teeth and said, "I have never had such a thought, and it is impossible for me to think like this!"
Shen Tang: “…”
Ah, Banbu is really a rare honest man.
In contrast, if it was her, the national seal would be her treasure in her hands. What's the "entrusted to an important minister", isn't this "abdication"? There is no rule that "abdication" can only be passed on to sons and daughters, outsiders can also pass it on.
Shen Tang felt a dull pain in his conscience for a moment.
With a red face, he bowed respectfully and apologized: "I was too petty to judge you. Please forgive me for a moment."
Gong Shuwu breathed a sigh of relief.
As he joked around, he forgot all about the anxiety and worry of "borrowing" the national seal, and took it out neatly. Shen Tang watched his movements without blinking, afraid of missing a detail. She was very curious about where Gong Shuwu hid the national seal.
Maybe you can use this as a reference to find your own.
Gong Shuwu did nothing, he took off the Wudan Tiger Talisman from his waist and slapped it on the table. The meaning was very obvious, the national seal was here! Qi Shan and Chu Yao were stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted, clapped their hands and laughed, "This method is wonderful!"
Only Shen Tang was not in good condition, and looked confused.
Can you two explain what's so wonderful about this!!!
Gong Shuwu raised his hand and placed it just above the Wudan Tiger Talisman. With a breath of air from his palm, the Wudan Tiger Talisman transformed into Wuqi and merged into his meridians. As the Wuqi peeled off, a seal the size of a baby's fist was revealed in the distance. The seal was square, with a green dragon coiled on top.
This green dragon is only the length of a thumb, very mini and cute, with aura lingering around it, and you can faintly hear the roar of a dragon or a tiger.
Almost the moment the seal appeared, a faint green light filled the entire small room, and the air filled with the aura of heaven and earth rose straight up, almost sticky. But - Shen Tang looked at Qinglong and poked it with his finger: "That's it?"
Gong Shuwu almost suffocated when he saw her movements.
"No, don't be rude!"
Shen Tang asked back: "Am I being rude?"
But he still retracted his finger.
I can’t poke it with my finger, but I can at least take a closer look, right
Gong Shuwu: “…”
What else could he do? He could only watch as if he was having a heart attack.
Shen Tang looked at the dragon scales of the little green dragon carefully. He didn't know which master had carved them, but the tiny dragon scales were visible on it. It looked delicate and warm, and the expression was majestic and lifelike, as if the little green dragon would circle and fly into the sky in the next second.
The only drawback -
She pointed at some dragon scales on the little green dragon's back and said, "The color of the dragon scales here isn't very pure... Why do they look so dull?"
Yes, it doesn’t feel very healthy.
Gong Shuwu explained: "The more prosperous the country's fortune, the brighter and purer the dragon scales will be. If the dragon scales are mottled and turbid, it means that the country's fortune has... "
If you look closely, you will find that the position where the blue and gray of the dragon scales meet is slowly moving. The people in Xiaocheng City are too dissatisfied, and there is not much national fortune left on the national seal.
Gong Shuwu said worriedly: "The national seal has a spirit. When the remaining national fortune is swallowed up by the people's resentment, this blue dragon will completely change color. At that time, the spirit of the national seal will be angry, the blue dragon will turn over, and its aura will no longer be hidden. If it lives in seclusion in an unowned place, it will be fine. If that place is owned, it will disturb the dragon vein of that country..."
The location is exposed.
There is a dispute between the national seal and the national seal.
Unless they become one, they cannot live in harmony. When the two confront each other, the only way is for you to fight me and I to compete with you to see who is better!
Gong Shuwu was always worried when he carried the national seal.
Is there any land in this world that is without an owner
Shen Tang said, "I see."
I learned a lot today!
"So, what should I do?"
Shen Tang rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go to bed.
She already has the national seal and other things, so it would be pointless to snatch them from Gong Shuwu by force. It would be interesting if he handed them over voluntarily.
Gong Shuwu: “…”
Qishan: “…”
Chu Yao: “…”
Shen Tang resisted the urge to let his scalp tingle: "Don't show that expression, I'm panicking! I'm ignorant that I don't know how to use the national seal, but this is how cavemen from deep mountains and forests are, please forgive me. You teach me, I promise to learn it seriously!"
She was just about to swear to heaven.
Qi Shan suppressed the throbbing veins on his forehead.
Gritting his teeth, he said with a fierce smile: "Young Master Shen, you don't need to speak. Just use your literary energy to sense it..."
If the occasion wasn't wrong, he really wanted to give Young Master Shen a beating to silence him. Why did this little mouth keep talking so much nonsense!
Shen Tang pursed his lips in grievance.
Suppressing her guilty conscience, she secretly took a deep breath, raised her hand and gathered a wisp of literary energy at her fingertips. Under the gaze of the three people, she slowly, slowly approached the little green dragon. Suddenly, the luck lingering around the little green dragon trembled suddenly, as if its heart was contracting.
Shen Tang poked Xiao Qinglong lightly with his finger.
No response.
Before she could retract her finger, the little green dragon carved from jade suddenly opened its mouth and bit her finger in public. Shen Tang was so scared that she jumped up and swung her fingers to try to throw the damn thing away: "Fuck - don't bite me -"
This green dragon is quite majestic when it is still, but once it moves it looks like a little snake, and a biting snake at that!
After two or three breaths, the Dan Mansion was completely empty of the spiritual energy.
The three were also shocked by this sudden change.
The scene was in chaos.
But as if God was afraid that the scene was not chaotic enough, at this moment, Shen Tang felt a warmth in her right palm, and a familiar sword appeared automatically. A golden dragon hovering on the hilt swam out along her fingers and slapped the little green dragon with one claw.
Those gem-like dragon eyes were filled with hostility!
